Neil Young / Peace Trail

Neil Young will release Peace Trail, his 38th solo album in December.
The album has been produced by Young and John Hanlon and like The Monsanto Years deals with global issues and humanitarian concerns. Jim Keltner (drums), Paul Bushnell (bass) and Joe Yanke (electric harp and pump organ) join Young on this largely acoustic record.

The CD version of Peace Trail is available next month, but the vinyl isn’t expected until 2017. If you want, you can order both via Young’s online store bundled with a “100% Organic Hat” (I kid you not).

I for one have enjoyed Neil’s recent albums, apart from the SQ on A Letter Home (yeah I knew before I bought it what to expect) so am looking forward to this.

Given his u-turn on allowing his back catalogue to reappear on streaming services lets hope he does another u-turn on CD releases for the current vinyl only remasters, including Time Fades Away. Fingers crossed.
